so, where are we now?

We keep moving forward.  The weekend was hard, each day this week has gotten a step easier.  It's hard to know what to process, and where to process it, so I imagine my posts may seem inconsistent or erratic.  That's just where I'm at.

It's Wednesday night and the kids are just home from AWANA, which has been a real highlight of our time here.  Such an incredible program!  The girls are so pumped each and every week, even Isaac gets excited to go (and he just hangs out in the nursery!)

It's hard to believe one season of our furlough is coming to an end - this is the last AWANA night for a while, we'll be back again briefly in January.

We leave Saturday morning for a month long trip to North Carolina!  We are all so excited to get there :)  The girls are counting days and prepping for the airplane journey - it's been a while since they've been in the air and they were relieved to hear that it's only "a two airplane trip".   This mommy is pretty grateful too, that it's just a hop and a skip from here to Minneapolis and then on to Raleigh.


So that's where we are.  It's hard.  And I laughed today.  A lot.

Hi Laura, Just got caught up with all that is going on with you. I cannot imagine how hard its been- you have suffered a couple adoption miscarriages and they are so painful. Will be praying for you and that God has a baby waiting- the perfect one for your family- at the end of this painful road.
love

Hey friend,
Just wanted to let you know that we've been keeping up with you with your blog and your journey and we love you and are praying for y'all. At bedtime last night, Callie prayed for "Julie-nana to get her new didi soon." So glad to hear that you laughed today, and I hope y'all enjoy your time in NC! Wish we could be there, too - enjoy the gorgeous Fall/Winter weather and holiday season for us!
Much love to all,
The Smiths
